    (1) Download the ALSA sources from here:

    http://www.alsa-project.org/index-ok.php3

    (2) Leave the previous drivers package installed so you will get the
    init script and compile the drivers by doing:

    ./configure --with-cards=emu10k1 --with-sequencer=yes
    make
    make install

    (3) Compile alsa-libs, alsa-oss-compat-lib and alsa-utils (you don't
    need alsa-tools). The procedure is the same:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
    make
    make install

    and hopefully you are using checkinstall. You can turn it into an rpm
    package by doing:

    checkinstall

    Don't forget to run ldconfig

    (4) Now run the alsaconf from the utils directory of the alsa driver
    source by doing:

    ./alsaconf

    you can copy it to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin if you want to

    (5) Now run

    rcalsasound restart

    (6) Run alsamixer and unmute the channels you are going to use and set
    them to reasonable volumes.

    (7) Now try it out. If you still have problems, recompile the driver
    but use:

    ./configure --with-cards=emu10k1 --with-sequencer=yes --with-debug=full

    and send the output in /var/log/messages to the list.
